布达拉宫—大昭寺
It was such a great day, waking up without feeling headache. I brushed my teeth happily singing a silly song. Feeling healthy is really the best feeling one can have. The only thing I can complain is, I did not get to take bath for more than 48 hours.
Can see the Potala from 大昭寺 2nd floor also.
After lunch, finally, we were going into the Potala!! (actually, these few days, already passed by it outside for more than 6-8 times. Potala is just located in the heart of Lhasa city.)
It was quite a "task" to climbed up to the top of Potala (height of the peak is 3750 meters above sea level). Under the circumstances of lacking in oxygen, every step is a challenge. For every turn of the stairs, we need to stop for a while to catch more air. And, take more pictures. When we reached the top, we were so happy (actually, it was not that high, compared to The Great Wall in Beijing, but it feels more difficult to climb than The Great Wall).
转经筒:)
经幡
在藏区,道路两侧,古树上,屋顶处,江桥旁,到处是五彩的经幡,在蓝天下迎风招展。在家家户户的房屋上、帐篷上迎风飘扬
经幡大部分采用绸布做成,颜色有蓝、白、红、黄、绿色等,多为素色,大小不等。经幡幡条具有特定的含义,其组合排列顺序都有严格的规定。经幡上面印着密密麻麻的经文和鸟兽图案,各图案也有一定的象征意义。经幡是藏民祈求福运升腾的象征物,每年藏民们都要挑选良辰吉日,举行庆典活动,更新经幡。之所以插上经幡,是因为当地的信徒们大多没有文化,念不了经文,只为借助自然的力量,风每吹动经幡一次,就意味着他们念了一次经,以此来表达他们对上天的虔诚和敬意
